Atlanta Thrashers forward Ben Eager was suspended four games for sucker punching Colby Armstrong during Toronto's 9-3 win over the Thrashers, an NHL source confirmed with Sporting News.

The incident occurred late in second period of the blowout loss.

“We don’t condone anything,” Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after the game. “We want our players to play hard. We want them to play physical with body checks and fight for the puck. We can’t condone that.”
